Section 12-568a-15 - Occupational badges and licenses(a)Badges.(1) The department, as it deems necessary, shall require occupational licensees to obtain a badge at the expense of the CLC. Such badges shall be displayed or carried upon such licensee as required by the department. All badges are the property of the department and shall be returned to the department upon request in the event of license termination, suspension or revocation.(2) The CLC shall file a list of persons and specific duties of such persons not licensed as occupational licensees who may enter the facilities of the CLC for reasons connected with the operation of the lottery. In such instances, the CLC shall provide nontransferable visitor badges to individuals on such lists.(3) The department, at its discretion, may provide temporary badges to facilitate operations when an occupational licensee does not have such badge available.(4) No licensee shall permit any other person to use such licensee's badge or license.(b)Occupational licenses.(1) No person may be employed by the CLC unless such person is licensed as a class III or class IV occupational licensee by the department pursuant to sections 12-568a and 12-800 to 12-818, inclusive, of the Connecticut General Statutes.(2) The president of the CLC, all other officers of the CLC, and any other individual who in the judgment of the department will exercise control, shall be required to be licensed as a class IV occupational licensee. All other employees shall be required to be licensed as class III occupational licensees.(3) If the department finds that the financial responsibility, character, and general fitness of the applicant are such that the participation of such person will be consistent with the public interests, convenience, or necessity and with the best interests of the lottery and the operation of the CLC generally, in conformity with the purposes of chapters 226 and 229a of the Connecticut General Statutes, it shall thereupon grant an occupational license. If the department finds that the applicant fails to meet any of said conditions, it shall not grant such license and it shall notify the applicant of the denial.(c)Vendor licenses. No person awarded a primary contract by the CLC to provide facilities, components, goods or services necessary for the operation of the lottery may do so unless such person, and any officer or employee of such person who is involved in the provision of goods or services to the CLC or for the operation of the lottery, submits to and successfully completes a background investigation and becomes a licensee. Each employee of a vendor shall be licensed as an occupational licensee when required by section 12-815a(d) of the Connecticut General Statutes.(d)Suspension - revocations. If the department finds that the financial responsibility, character and general fitness of the licensee are such that the continued licensing of such person will not be consistent with the public interest, convenience or necessity, and with best interests of the lottery and the CLC generally, in conformity with the purposes of chapters 226 and 229a of the Connecticut General Statutes, it may revoke or suspend such license.(e)Examination of licenses. All persons who have been issued a license by the department shall keep such license in their possession, subject to examination by the department or its duly authorized representatives or officials of the CLC, at any time they may deem necessary or proper.Conn.
